Profile:

Nuwan Zoysa is one of an impressive new band of fast bowlers emerging in Sri Lanka. A left arm bowler with a loping, rhythmical run-up and action, he can extract steep bounce with his great height. He rarely swings the ball, but does nip the ball off the pitch. He was born in Maharagama, in the suburbs of Colombo on 13 May 1978. He started off at Buwaneka Central School at Maharagama, before following his brother, Deepan, also a fast bowler, into Isipathana College where he developed into a useful all-rounder. In 1995 the popular Sri Lankan cheerleader, Lionel, spotted the young bowler and introduced him to the former Sri Lankan skipper Arjuna Ranatunga, who swiftly enrolled him into the Sinhalese Sports Club. He was soon fast tracked into the national squad and was selected for the 1996/97 tour of New Zealand, where he made his Test and ODI debut. Since then he has been in and out of the side because of niggling injuries, although in recent times his fitness record has improved. His Test record is not particularly flattering - 38 wickets in 22 games - but he has frequently been forced to bowl on lifeless, slow pitches at home. The most memorable moment in his Test career was a hat-trick in his first over of the match against Zimbabwe at Harare on 26th November 1999. In one-day cricket he has generally proved more effective, being both economical (av. 4.46 runs per over) and penetrative in his opening overs.(04.30.2002)
